What to expect
You'll meet at Warburton and be driven to Seven Acre Rock in Yarra Ranges National Park. The walk in crosses quiet forest before the rocky outcrop appears. Your guide covers safety procedure and rope skills on a short pitch before you clip in and descend. Each face presents different exposure—some more sheltered, others fully open. You're in control of your descent speed. Multiple drops mean you'll progress through the session, finishing with stronger confidence on a longer line.
